Re: Your future on Alter Aeon: a Discussion of game trends
Well I have read a bit of this.
I don't know what to think.
Sadly I pulled out of aa completely 2 years back.
Firstly its boring, secondly I just don't have the time to play online games as I once did.
I do play games, but life is not kind to me, I have books I should be reading, I have a lot of things I should be doing right at this moment but my motivation to bother is gone.
It seems these days unless I time things down to the second that a task bleads into another one, and so on and so on.
I get through all the tasks I need to do, in most days thats home gym excercise after breakfast, blogs, this forum, look at sbyw for 10 minutes, check out space explorer for another 10, look at my skype groups and email groups, check out what else is needed.
At this point its lunch.
at least 2-3 days a week I walk, 1 day I shop, one day is my big gym session and one day is another walk.
Between these mondays are usually off but if I don't have podcasts to listen to, little games to play or something I am usually to tired to do anything constructive and thats on a good day.
I found this starting last year, I was testing for reality software and our bathroom was getting done, and it was noisy and I put it down to just that, it was noisy, I can't play.
Life was starting to creep up on me then.
I am 35 years now, and back when I was smaller as a blind kid not much was expected of me.
This continued up till I was 30, life was good, I remember working on admin till 3 pm in my pjs.
I remember playing aa all day every day only popping out to excercise, eat and sleep sometimes late at night.
The reality is, online games and muds well look at it this way, I really find it hard to get a skype call in, its not I have the time its more I can't seem to make space in my mind to do the time needed to make space to do whatever it is.
From post 1, uids, if you are that concerned, then you better not open your media player, etc, etc, everyone uses them.
Also if I am a hacker, If I make that go away what is to stop faking another.
In the old reality games we had a lot of that going on.
You faked people a lot and you could get away with it.
I think we have to face it the charm the net was once is well and truely gone.
Everyone spys on everyone else and 99.9% of the time its to catch the bad guys and doesn't effect us personally, unless you are in a corrupt government situation, or you are a bad guy, have been a victum of a bad guy or are simply unlucky and that can happen.
For most of us though its not a problem.
As for levels I never got through everything, I got up to a certain quest but never really pulled over that that much.
At one point I thought about buying into the game, the same was with core exiles.
But to be honest, that era of my life is well and truely gone.
Even with the mass amounts of digital tech in the house there at least in my house is still a push in my family for all of us to get off our fucking asses and loose weight.
From diet to whatever, its frowned on for any member of the family to stay glued to a screen unless its wet, or something.
And to be honest with summer coming up in new zealand at least, as long as its not a bad stormy hell it was last year, I plan to not be on the net wasting my life like I usually do.
Its good for what it is but online games, I am probably past that now.
Maybe when I finally get to the last few years of life if aa and mush z still exists I may when life is finally done and I have a little left before my broken body joins the ansesters maybe I come back for one last plunge but then I may not.
The reason I started even doing mudding and online gaming in general was simply that I was a blind person without a life.
Now I have a life and while its not the best it could be its certainly a vary bisy one gaming is one thing I do but its not the only thing I do.
In fact if it wern't busy I probably would have a hard time doing anything constructive at all.
It seems this thing is going the way of stw, oh well I am happy it lasted this long.
THat was as close to an audio rpg I got and I barely know anyone on there.
Its a pitty there can't be some sort of audio mud or rpg created with the ability of the sighted or whatever to play we could all enjoy with open world etc that everyone could just come and go with.
I would certainly come back to core exiles if it was ever an audio game, but who knows even then.
